Restart as normal as possible for Canada’s Mackenzie Hughes - TSN.ca

So, Mackenzie Hughes, what’s it like to have a long swab pushed into your nasal passage much farther than you ever thought possible?That description summed up the first step for the Canadian golfer on the return to golf. As the PGA Tour gets set to restart on Thursday morning in Fort Worth, Texas, one of the keys to success will be preventing any cases of COVID-19 from appearing. That means testing and so the first stop for tour players this week has been the mobile testing facility.

As with most of the field, Hughes is anxious to see where his game measures up against a deep field littered with top players. His last complete tournament was a tie for second, his best finish in just under a year. It came after five missed cuts and Hughes was hoping to ride the momentum from that performance into the ensuing weeks. Instead, it was home to Charlotte, N.C., to wait out the pause.

One thing Hughes did not do is work with his coaches, Scott Cowx and Derrick Ingram, both of whom reside in Canada. The border issues prevented any travel and Hughes decided not to work over the Internet, preferring to just keep playing and staying sharp on his own. He’s had success at Colonial before, including a tie for eighth in last year’s edition.

“It really doesn’t feel as weird as I thought it would,” he said. “I’m sure in particular moments it will be different but, really, nothing feels that out of the ordinary.”
